This sour wheat beer is first aged with a mix of yeast and bacteria (Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Saccharomyces, and Brettanomyces) and then has organic Masumoto family farm peaches and nectarines added. This all developes into puckering tartness, complex funkiness, and juicy stonefruit. **on premise only**

This pale beer is crisp, light bodied, and incredibly drinkable. We use an ale yeast at low temps and Noble hops that give this beer Pilsner like qualities, lightness of palate, and fresh floral aromas.

Welcome to outerbeerspace!! Utilizing primarily Galaxy hops, this beer is fresh, hoppy, and incredibly drinkable. The berry and mellon hop flavors are backed by a clean malt body from 2-row malt, oats, and carapils.

Our Irish Red from brewer Tim McDonnell is a sessionable beer that pours with a creamy cascade of nitro carbonation, has a nice balanced malt presence from Maris Otter malt, and just a hint of Fuggles hops to make it interesting.

This is a bright, pungent IPA that has punchy hops yet still retains good drinkability. Hello, LA finishes dry with not too much body or malt to get in the way of the hops. Lots of new world flavors with the American hop varieties Citra and Mosaic.

Ladies and Gentlemen, our Belgian Style Golden Strong Ale! This is an exciting and potentially dangerous beer. The character is complex, aromatic, and strong, but for 8.3% alc this beer is incredibly drinkable. Soft fruit and pepper from fermentation, German Hallertau and American Mosaic hops to deepen complexity, and a crisp, dry finish for drinkability.

Ah, this beer is a fun one. We used French oak red wine barrels. Berliner weisse beers typically get their acidity from a bacteria, Lactobacillus, that thrive at temperatures above 100 degrees! So, we decide to let these critters go at it in barrels baking in our parking lot. After initial souring we added several other yeasts to finish up fermentation. Simple, yet complex. Funky, yet super drinkable. ***bottles available togo***

We brewed this beer in collaboration with our good friend Josh Pfriem of Pfriem Family Brewers in Hood River, OR. It's an American Pale Ale using German Huell Mellon hops and then bottle conditioned for several months with Brettanomyces Trois. The hops give it a nice delicate cantaloupe character and the Brett adds soft fruits and just a touch of funk. ***bottles available for on premise only***

About The Brewery

We’ve chosen to open a brewery because we think it is a pretty awesome world of discovery, adventure, and, quite simply, fun. We have a pretty charismatic approach to making beer in the neighborhood we live. We make the beer in a 7 bbl brewhouse under the same roof as The Hermosillo. We like to experiment with unique processes, wacky microbes, and local ingredients among other things. The brewery is comprised of four partners: Bob Kunz, Ross Stephenson, Michael Blackman and Dustin Lancaster, with Bob primarily guiding the beer along its path. Overall, Highland Park Brewery has a fairly simple goal of making excellent beer and having a good time along the journey.

About the Hermosillo

The Hermosillo is a neighborhood beer and wine bar in Highland Park, Los Angeles. Previously a night club with an infamous reputation, The Hermosillo now serves craft beer, 30 wines by the glass, and creative bar food.

Join us this Sunday at noon @thehermosillo as we release 2 new bottles (link to pre-purchase is below), Sun-Soaked Berliner Weisse and Pfriem Spaceship with Brett. We'll have the following killer tap list as well:

Had a great time foraging in our own yards for ingredients earlier this week. Pretty pumped our friend John Verive from the LA Times came along with us and wrote about the little journey today. Good times!!
